annotated bibliography 318

/in /by

Genre is a necessary consideration for learning how to read and navigate texts in your discourse community. In this assignment, you will begin looking at more texts in your discourse community. With genre firmly in your mind and your research guide near you (attached), I would like for you to write an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is just like a normal bibliography except with an added annotation, which will identify two main things: a short summary of the source and the usefulness to your research.

Here is an example:

Lamott, Anne. Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. Anchor Books, 1995.

Lamott’s book offers honest advice on the nature of a writing life, complete with its insecurities and failures. Taking a humorous approach to the realities of being a writer, the chapters in Lamott’s book are wry and anecdotal and offer advice on everything from plot development to jealousy, from perfectionism to struggling with one’s own internal critic. In the process, Lamott includes writing exercises designed to be both productive and fun. Lamott offers sane advice for those struggling with the anxieties of writing, but her main project seems to be offering the reader a reality check regarding writing, publishing, and struggling with one’s own imperfect humanity in the process. Rather than a practical handbook to producing and/or publishing, this text is indispensable because of its honest perspective, its down-to-earth humor, and its encouraging approach.

I want you to start thinking about a specific aspect of your discourse community that you would like to research. For example, if your discourse community is biology, perhaps you would like to research cell dynamics or photosynthesis. Begin narrowing your interests down to precise topics. Start from your discourse community and work your way down. For this assignment, produce an annotated bibliography of 5 sources. Each source can be 150-200 words. Narrow your search to academic articles. Follow the example annotation above. The assignment should be 12 point Times New Roman font.
